Over the weekend, I ate meatloaf twice: once at Cracker Barrel and again at a local restaurant. Growing up, the ground beef concoction graced our table regularly, but in my adult life, I rarely make it. So, when I saw the specials, I couldn\u2019t resist the temptation to taste the goodness of the simple dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating the scrumptious loaf of meat made me want more of it. When we taste something good, we can\u2019t help but want more deliciousness. Tasting of the Lord\u2019s goodness leads us down the path of righteousness because it makes us want more of Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the moment Jesus enters our lives, He begins to transform us.\u00a0 As we begin to experience the change, we draw closer to the Savior and desire more of Him.\u00a0 The Lord\u2019s goodness gives us unconditional love, grace, mercy, peace, and divine joy that fills our hearts, despite our circumstances.\u00a0 Who doesn\u2019t want that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taste of the Lord\u2019s goodness, then keep on tasting as You seek and follow Him.\u00a0 Experience the divine gifts that only come through a relationship with the Savior. In Christ, we have all we need; nothing in the world compares to life with Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
